The RMS Queen Mary was built by John Brown & Company in Clydebank, Scotland and entered service in 1936 as part of Cunard Line's transatlantic express service alongside RMS Queen Elizabeth. She served primarily on the North Atlantic until her retirement from transoceanic service in 1967. The ship is now permanently moored in Long Beach, California, where it functions as a hotel, museum, and convention space and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places and as a member of Historic Hotels of America. The supplied sources detail the vessel's construction, service period (1936–1967), and current role as a preserved historic ship and tourist destination. The provided research material does not contain firsthand eyewitness accounts, investigative reports, or named supernatural entities associated with the Queen Mary. References in the sources to a 2023 film titled "Haunting of the Queen Mary" (Wikidata) and to a horror podcast episode title demonstrate cultural and media interest in haunted or horror narratives connected to the ship, but these sources do not document any primary paranormal incidents aboard the vessel. Consequently, no specific phenomena, entities, or explanatory frameworks (residual haunt, unquiet dead, etc.) are asserted in the available material. Because of its maritime significance and prominent public presence, the Queen Mary functions as both a historic attraction and a subject of contemporary media and fiction that adopt haunting themes; however, the distinction between cultural representation and documented paranormal occurrence is not bridged by the provided sources.
